[QUOTE="missy44, post: 348860, member: 6201"] Thanks again everyone for your responses. difficult child didn't return home last night (but he did go to work, both hubby and i did a drive by). How's that for detachment! The fact that he didn't come home to discuss his options tell me that 1. he's not ready for help, he thinks he can handle it and 2. he's embarassed to see us right now, especially after the state we found him in the other night (morning) and 3. he's embarassed that he blew this last shot with us. He had it made, he just had to follow the rules. He followed them for a few blissful weeks, then he throws in the towel. In a way, I'm glad he didn't come home. If he's not ready, he's not ready, and maybe he can handle this, maybe he just needs to "really feel it" on his own. Maybe our enabling is his problem and he's never had to completely "step up" on his own. My fingers are crossed and my prayers are said daily that he will be okay. In the meantime, knowing that he isn't home and not knowing what he's doing, will allow me to sleep tonight. I need it! Talk soon, M [/QUOTE]
